I Loved Her First - Brown Family Band Cover

Wendy, the girls and I recorded this for Big Little Sister Inverted Turtle and Matches who were married on top of Mt. Katahdin.


Enjoy!

Hiking Practice

This week, we started walking in the mornings ... just a short loop. I have put 134 pound miles on this week.

Note to self: a 50 pound bag of sand weighs considerable more when it is wet. 58.5 lb pack, expecting 54 max.

This is way more practice/conditioning than the last two attempts on the 100 Mile Wilderness!

First Hike - Prepping For 100 Mile Wilderness (3rd Attempt)

Today, Wendy and I headed out for a walk with the dogs. Of course, I threw on my pack for a little added weight.

I have created a unit of measure to track progress and actually do some training before heading out this summer. I intend 10 miles per day with 40 pounds - 400 pound miles. For training and to ensure some level of fitness, I need to build to 600 pound miles per day by the beginning of July.

Today ... I achieved 84 pound miles. It is a start.

It was wonderful.

First Boil 2018

It is a small batch, but it is the first.

I am so grateful!

Preparing To Boil

We are preparing the pit for sugaring! The foreman seems to be content with the progress.

It Is That Time ... Again

I have been itching to get out for the last week or two. Today, we put out 10 (half) of our taps.

Welcome, Spring!
